Mrs Amaechi Trains Women In Vocational Skills
Wife of the Rivers State Governor, Dame Judith Amaechi, has initiated vocational skills training and acquisition in electrical maintenance and painting for women in the state.
Other areas include tailoring, plumbing and carpentry. The skills acquisition programme initiated at the instance of a non governmental organisation, the Empowerment Support Initiated (ESI), is aimed at promoting entrepreneurial skills and excellence among women and youths in the state.
The training of women in male dominated craft is aimed at exposing them to self- development as well as promoting gender equality in human capital development and empowerment in the state.
Mrs Amaechi noted that most artisans in these relevant fields currently working in various state government on-going projects are male, hence the need to train women who would complement men’s effort in rebuilding new Rivers State.
Some of the successful applicants who distinguished themselves in the training programme will join the successful graduates of the soap making and detergent manufacturing workshop to pioneer the ESI factory at the learning and entrepreneurial centre.
The Rivers governor’s wife during a meeting with wives of government offificals declared an affirmative action on empowerment and employment for women.
In furtherance of these efforts, the Rivers First Lady has empowered 53 women who are currenlty making a living through commercial transportation, and contributing to the development of a new Rivers State while 60 others have undergone driving training soon.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
